March 29-31 is when I went. The indoor water park was awesome. The storm chaser freaked me out. The runaway canyon was soooo fun. Trail twisters was one of my favorites. The orange and red one i didn’t ride. I recommend the food there too. It’s really yummy and drinks don’t taste bleh. If you are going to Wilderness At The Smokies, it was the funniest thing I’ve done so far in 2024.

Thank you for sharing this! I stayed here for 2 nights one February for my grandsons b.day and we got our room for $99. a night it was the resort connecting with the indoor water park since the out door ones are closed in the colder mos, I got the room that only had a sofa bed and a Murphy bed so I could have a kitchen and we cooked to save $$ but after seeing this it helps me in my decision making for the extra cost in the warmer mos with the outdoor water parks being open

Great video! And what is always my favorite is your guys reviews. You speak the truth on your experience and you don't sugar coat nothing at all. Not many I can say do that. And yesterday the waterpark there is so amazing. Never been on the outside part just the inside when they use to do local deal's just to go to the indoor waterpark it was like 5 dollars I believe it was. They haven't done it since I think like 2018. And it was like around the end of Oct around the beginning of Nov. Hopefully they bring it back someday.

Wilderness is our go to place. This year was our 5th year. We always stay in the main building, and either do the condo size suite, which is nice. This year we did the room in the main building, with outdoor waterpark view. It has bunkbeds for the kids, and a queen size bed. We do the special right at the beginning of June, Soaky Mountain is included at that time. You just have to watch for the specials. They have them in the Spring, as well at the beginning of summer, and end of summer. We love it.

Wilderness At The Smokies is our Great Wolf Lodge up here in Massachusetts same exact set up, but I'm pretty sure it's owned by Great Wolf Lodge. If you guys loved this place you would love Great Wolf Lodge they have them all over the country and even Canada. That microwave is not good any manager would send the housekeepers back in and make sure it was cleaned right. I love those water slides that go from the inside to the outside and back in it's awesome. Yeah evidently they didn't know what they were doing, because they usually test everything before it opens to the public to make sure nothing malfunctions and if it does it's down until maintenance fixes it.

We love this place. Beds were alittle hard to us but the resort is nice and the soaky mountain water park across the street is one of the best I’ve ever seen. The Wyndham rooms are nice too. The river lodge is great and everything is over there so you don’t have to take shuttles to everything which is nice. But try soaky mountain water park. It’s amazing, but they would not let us film there. We could last year but this year they said no go pros.

I’ve seen this advertised as being “a good deal” but people actually say it’s “okay” and the time-share association is just shady. Some complaints I’ve heard are low quality rooms, keys don’t work, and that there are just kids everywhere, as if you are staying at a water park rather than there just being a small water park at the hotel.

I've always wondered what the Non-Wyndham timeshare rooms looked like because I've heard they were really small. The rooms near their water slides I think are all managed and rented through Wyndham Timeshares. We've stayed twice and they are really beautiful and huge. I had read some of the non- Wyndham rooms even have Murphy beds instead of actual beds like your room had. That microwave in your room though, I would have called and asked for another microwave if we had any intentions to possibly use it, might have called either way to complain. Gross.
